Before you submit a public question, please be aware of the following:

  • You can submit a maximum of 2 questions per meeting.
  • You must submit your question before 10 am the day before the Council meeting.
  • Your question must not exceed an 80-word count limit.
  • Your question must not be offensive or irrelevant.
  • Your question will not be read and an answer will not be provided if the matter deals with a subject matter already answered, whether at that Council Meeting, previous Council Meeting or via other communication channels with Council.
  • Your question must meet the guidance criteria around public question time as per Clauses 65 of the Governance Rules.
  • Your question will be included during the Council Meeting public question time and recorded in the Council Meeting minutes.
  • Any person or representative submitting a public question must be in the gallery when the question and response are due to be read. If the person is not in the gallery, the Chair will not read the question and response; however, the question will be recorded in the minutes of the Council Meeting, together with a copy of the written response.
